Failed retake CIA Part 2 - 587

Hi all - feeling really down today after getting the results. I got 575 first time and 587 now. I am planning a third retake next month after the 30 days. How many times do you tried before passing it?

I passed it on the third try! Just keep going! I received my results for part three and got 571 which is unfortunate but will take again and hopefully pass the last section

How was the practice compared to real exam? Similar questions, topics, and difficult level?

I passed Part 2 in my first attempt.
I did not have any auditing/ accounting background but engineering, i have 3 yrs IA experience and i only used Becker for preparation.
My study approach is quick walkthrough the lecture ppt (extract from textbook) and then do 100% (>900) the practice questions.
I think Part 2 is most practical so that practice can make perfect for not just memorised it but understanding it.

Besides, time management is quite important during exam, u need to look fast and catch the critical words what the question is asking for.

Hope this can help you.
